It seems the economic outlook for McClatchy is getting gloomier and gloomier. <BR/><BR/>Chuck Jaffe at ‘MarketWatch,’ writes “[Newspapers]…..an industry that not only will get worse before it improves, but which may be so sick that improvement never comes.” <BR/><BR/>'McClatchy Watch’ writes “Bad economic news this week that may indicate the company is in significant jeopardy.”<BR/><BR/>The ‘Deadwood Media’ cites the loss of advertisement as the major down factor, but in my opinion, as readers sense the liberal bias and too often outright dishonest reporting, they look upon newspapers as a useless waste of trees. The dwindling number of remaining readers don’t seem to be the ad-target consumers any longer. <BR/><BR/>And, my out-of-work journo friends remind me that colleges are churning out more ’professionals’ for the disappearing, dinosaur media. A whole new set of disillusioned, liberal, lefty scribblers.

It seems that simple denial is enough to stop the intrepid N&O machine cold.<BR/><BR/>Why did they not apply this standard to the lacrosse players. If so, a simple denial would have killed the story. As a bonus, the N&O would have gotten it right earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-38578603208596583922008-08-22T15:32:00.000-04:002008-08-22T15:32:00.000-04:00John: You're going to give our troll a cardiac...John: You're going to give our troll a cardiac attack if you keep criticizing his/her very favorite newspaper. The N&O is oh, so scrupulous when it comes to reporting crimes allegedly committed by members of minority groups, but when they had the chance to kick some dirt in the faces of white students we saw no hesitation. The N&O adheres strictly to political correctness and is just another trashy publication following the lead of the NYT, LAT, and the major network news. Their demise is certain, but will not be soon enough for my liking.<BR/>Tarheel HawkeyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
